It was buried in the comments on the newsfeed page; the veracity it is another thing entirely, but the idea of not being able to ban people scares the fuck out of me. I do like the openID option in concept, because I use it to communicate with friends who have already made the DreamWidth switch. I just want to be able to control who can and can't comment.
The most important thing though is not wanting people to be able to purposefully or accidentally link my journal name/content back to Facebook with one misdirected click.
They know there's a lot of opposition to this feature, so it might be disabled in the meantime while they work out the kinks. Seriously LJ, "beta testing" is not a foreign concept to most IT companies...
